1) The function of von Willebrand Factor.
2) Polymerization of fibrin molecules.
3) Allostery in cellular adhesion.
4) Orientation of protein molecules on material surfaces.
My laboratory combines tools from computational structural biology, like molecular dynamics
simulations and Monte Carlo methods, with biochemical and biophysical assays to unravel the
molecular basis behind biological processes like the blood coagulation cascade and cellular
adhesion.
